Well done mate. 8-)

I presume they are the same each week - a Nike Goodie Bag (cap, towel and balls from memory) and a 1hr golf lesson at Oulton Hall. The goodie bag must be collected from their pro shop.

Haven't been down to pick mine up yet, but confirmation came through about a month after I won it (about 10 weeks ago) so you may be in for a little wait.

Does anyone fancy joining us for a golf trip to Oulton to play and collect prizes - they do an overnight special for around £100

Toffee and I are definitely doing it.

Chris- you may need to decide which clubs to use by the end of the year ;0)

Sounds good to me Paddy - don't live a huge distance away so may not be an over-nighter, but I am willing to have my arm twisted. That said, there may not be room in my car for an overnight bag with all the clubs in there. :wink:

Away for 3 weeks late Oct/early Nov, but can do most dates outside that with a bit of notice - just let me know and I'll try to shuffle things about. 8-)

It's actually my sons team that won (I finished 19th) but as he does not take much interest and I change the team every week I think he can have the goodie bag and I will take the lesson - gawd knows I need it !

Me and Admin #1 and 2 in the team of the month comp. I definitely need the lessons :wink:

That's the table for the Yorkshire Evening Post - use yorkshire-evening-post-fantasy-golf-2010-t71629.html instead.

Top 10 for the Yorkshire Post was:

R. Team Pts.
1 Youve been Billied Billy Hayes 860
2 North Duffield Whites simon coward 860
3 FISO Chris King 860
4 secondchance! Julie Cadman 821
5 shafts shankers gary shaft 790
6 VW Golf Geoff Pryor 790
7 Gutter Putter Kevin Muir 787
8 The Flag Of Dodd Nigel Dodds 780
9 Forever England Chris Younger 780
10 Pamik Pamela Green 780

Guess I didn't enter my team soon enough. Prefer the longer lesson anyway which El Pap will no doubt let me win.

Oops, sorry.

I thought I was on the correct thread - Apologies

toffeelover · **Posted:** 25 Aug 2010, 00:43

Should be an interesting finish in both monthly comps, with FISO players all over the place

:

Yorks Post

Evening

Could have an all day FISO golf lesson at this rate!

el_pappje · **Posted:** 30 Aug 2010, 09:28

I have a feeling I may have scooped both weekly and monthly prizes - in the "Top 5" box on the front page I am showing as top for the week, which by definition would make me the monthly winner too.

toffeelover · **Posted:** 30 Aug 2010, 17:02

Looking good El_Papp, the golfing Gods seem to know who needs those lessons the most :wink:

It's a Nike goody bag and a 1 hour lesson from a Pro!

The good Lord knows who needs it most :lol:

Nothing like recycling a "good" gag is there, Toffee?

Let's hope I can make it a hat-trick

Confirmation:

Fantasy Golf: Monty was pleased with Molinari's win, but were you?

Date: 30 August 2010

EDOARDO MOLINARI'S stunning victory at Gleneagles catapulted him into the Ryder Cup team, but what did it do for your Fantasy Golf team?

The Italian led a points-scoring bonanza across the two tournaments at Gleneagles and in New York with no less than eight Fantasy Golfers earning top-10 finishes on either side of the Atlantic.

Martin Laird was a big scorer at the Barclays, as were Dustin Johnson and Steve Striker, while in Scotland, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Simon Dyson landed the big points.

Chris Younger retains his overall lead in the year-long rankings while it was Simon Holman who wins the weekly prize, whose points haul also saw him finish August as the top manager of the month.

I was very pleased to switch in E Molinari last minute only to see Forever England did exactly the same thing 10 minutes later. :shock:

Obviously, a massive coincidence

Technically speaking, if your change was last minute then your rival was nine minutes too late.

I'll get my coat :oops:

Such is the nature of open view teams though, isn't it?

Ironically, this one was a co-incidence (was never going to miss the 50% bonus on offer was I!) ..... most of the others haven't been though. :wink:

Left the door open for you with Mickelson and Els and may give you a chance or two in the next few weeks. 8-)

Ha, thanks for reminding me Shaun - doing my best to lose it (or you could say make it exciting down the stretch - you choose :wink:

). There is a little while to go yet, but if momentum is anything I've lost already...

toffeelover · **Posted:** 13 Oct 2010, 20:15

The impressive thing is how far you two are ahead of the rest :shock:

Fair play to you both, may the best man win!

the titanic struggle at the top continues, with a little bit of gap for Chris over Nigel. As for the rest of us, the team down to 4th might have to start thinking about renaming his team soon :wink:
